Aromatically the wine gently lifts from the glass with notes of candied green apples, fresh mint, and a chalky minerality. The palate is ripe with clementines, peaches, sea salt and honeyed lemons.

Bernkasteler Lay is a Grosse Lage (grand cru) vineyard situated directly along the Mosel between the village of Bernkastel and the Dr. Loosen estate house. The rocky blue slate soil here produces richly textured, assertive wines. Kabinett is the German designation for the lightest, most delicate style of Riesling, produced from barely ripe grapes picked early in the harvest.
